Reply #8: Great, Then We Won't Have So Much of a Global Warming Problem

The avoidance of war is not peace. It's just "not fighting yet." It's a false peace that constricts peoples' movements and sentences them to living in fear. "Can't say anything bad, here, it might start a WAR."

The villagers in your story learned an important lesson they might not have if not for the fight. One of the lessons you have to learn, as a grown-up, is how to get into fights in such a way that agreed-upon rules will be adhered to. One is how to end it. And another is how to tell what's worth getting into a fight over in the first place.
